hi All,
I always created an own template with debootstrap and I used it.
Now I tried lxc-create -t ubuntu and I still have some question and
suggestion:
1. I suggest ntpdate not to be installed (remove after debootstrap).
Also I think 'update-rc.d -f ondemand remove' would be fine in the
container. Actually I see this somewhere in the script, but I had to do
it manually.
2. It would be nice, if a postinstall script can be called automatically
3. I think rootfs.hold file should be documented better, for example
with a text message in it.
4. I always wanted to ask, why lxc-create command has a switch '-n' if
it defined in the configuration anyway?
5. There are a number of custom devices, which I think by default should
not be there. For example tun and others. Or are they necessary? Is this
just a kind of failsafe solution for the beginning/beginners which needs
to be tuned?
6. How can I deploy it to a custom directory? With the switch '-B' I was
not successful. Anyway, many times I just want to create a container
with no individual partition (volume). Now I copied it from /var/lib/lxc.
7. Why does lxc-destroy remove the container files without asking about
it? I think is a bad idea.
8. The script creates some custom upstart config file:
lxc.conf: Why don't use lxcguest package?
ssh.conf: why is this necessary?
console.conf: It should be in the package upstart as tty[0-6].conf or in
lxcguest package, isn't it?
9. The script just removes config files instead of using dpkg-divert:
rm -f $rootfs/etc/init/tty{5,6}.conf
chroot $rootfs /bin/bash -c 'cd /etc/init; for f in $(ls u*.conf); do mv
$f $f.orig; done'
chroot $rootfs /bin/bash -c 'cd /etc/init; for f in $(ls tty[2-9].conf);
do mv $f $f.orig; done'
chroot $rootfs /bin/bash -c 'cd /etc/init; for f in $(ls
plymouth*.conf); do mv $f $f.orig; done'
chroot $rootfs /bin/bash -c 'cd /etc/init; for f in $(ls hwclock*.conf);
do mv $f $f.orig; done'
chroot $rootfs /bin/bash -c 'cd /etc/init; for f in $(ls module*.conf);
do mv $f $f.orig; done'
Why?
10.
if [ $release != "lucid" ]; then
sed -i 's/^.*emission handled.*$/echo Emitting lo/'
$rootfs/etc/network/if-up.d/upstart
fi
* Would not be better if there is an lxclo.conf from lxcguest?
Than you don't need to worry about package updates.
Anyway, nice work guys. Thank you!
